Good scuba diving in the south in February?
Hello. I know you Nomads know the ins and outs of Baja and was wondering if any of you have had good scuba diving experiences in the south in
February? Of course I know the water will be colder and the visibility not as good as in the summer, but just wondered if anyone had an experience
that would make it worthwhile to consider? Or the opposite, to say skip it and wait for a better season? I'm an advanced diver and have been blessed
with some amazing diving on my travels. I'm thinking possibly Cabo Pulmo and La Paz areas, although any area in the south is a possibility as I will
be traveling north for whale watching. Appreciate your input. Thank you!

Cabo Pulmo, when it's not blowing, is just fantastic!...contact Pepe's Dive Center and he will show you the rounds...just gotta have a few days of
calm weather in a row to make it worthwhile.

Loreto islands .... Marine Park ...
My home is in Ligui , south of loreto , diving is our main past time here. With the right people and the right dive spots , there are some really
great things to see just a short ride to the islands.
We have found some walls dives off of isla del carmen where at it is clear year round . Spots where nurse sharks return to spend the day sleeping . I
could go on and on about the diving in this area , very few divers and so much to see.

I will second the message that diving around Loreto is fabulous (I have over 100 dives there alone), but, from my point of view February is waaaaay
too cold. If you don't mind 7mil, hood, gloves, booties, etc. give it a try. I think Dolphin Dive Center, and Rafael Murillo Pelayo (the divemaster)
is the best in town.

Actually heard the water was warmer this season in many places. I think Shari said it was around 68F recently in B. Ascuncion. Her man is a diver so
maybe ask her about Pacific diving.
